Event Details

In this workshop, we will combine the craft of making crepe paper flowers and life drawing, to create a unique, enriching and playful creative experience for the participants.

This 2-hour workshop will begin with a paper flower making session led by theatremaker and artist Elisabeth Gunawan. Crepe materials allow us to create captivating life-like flowers, but their artificiality makes it possible to create absurd, larger-than-life blossoms! As we create, Gunawan will also share a thought-provoking lecture and discussion about the radical feminist potential of the female grotesque and how these symbolisms are present in the corporeality of the flower.

In the second part of the workshop, facilitated and guided by artist Yi Wei Xu, we will combine the flowers we have constructed and arrange them to create a surreal still life. We will explore how to use still life and life drawing as a starting point for imaginative drawing.

The focus of the class is in honing your trust and enjoyment of your creative process, all levels are welcome and the vibe will be low-key and friendly. We will provide all materials for making the paper flowers, and some materials and paper for drawing (although you are encouraged to bring your own as well)!
